Water front faces

Here is another oldie picture. It was pretty faded so I had to play around with it some in order for it to show up. I believe this was taken in either the 30's or early 40's. When I look at these photos it makes me realize that I really should write information on my own photo. So all you bloggers out there....has anyone seen this before? I am very curious as to where this place is, and I am assuming California, but I could be wrong.

The faces are so different, and I'm not sure if there is a statue on top or a lady posing!!! Anyhow, if anyone knows please pass it on!!
